Sorry, I don't understand what the article was trying to say. Perhaps you can explain. Thanks. "Hugh Small, telecoms specialist with the consultancy A.T. Kearney, raises the interesting idea that mobile networks may be the answer to the problem of the "local loop", the final copper connection between exchange and the home or office that creates a bottleneck in telecoms networks effectively stifling competition. The marginal cost of carrying additional fixed traffic on a cellular network can be low, Mr Small argues: "A cellular network carrying additional fixed traffic at negligible marginal cost and at prices competitive against the fixed network will always be more successful than a pure mobile network. That is why 'fixed-mobile' convergence will cause mobile networks to replace fixed connections rather than complementing them," he says." So Bell-Atlantic rules on? Gee thanks and I'm hoping T has something to say about that.
